When salt nicotine was developed in 2015, few vapers believed that it could replace freebase, as its high strength was loosely associated with vaping. At the time of the invention of this variant of nicotine, there were not enough devices designed for vaping liquids based on saline nicotine. But, as they say, there is no empty place, so manufacturers quickly began to produce POD-systems or closed type systems. Eleaf has repeatedly released devices of this format, which are successfully used by vapers around the world, but this does not mean that the developers of this manufacturer just rest, they are constantly working. And an example of this is the new Eleaf Iore Prime POD kit, which is sure to become a staple device for many vapers.

Iore Prime Battery
The Chinese company Eleaf is one of the old-timers of the vape market, as it started producing vape devices (by the way, many of the first devices are still working for vapers today) at the time when vaping was in its infancy. Over the years, the company has released a lot of devices of various formats, but engineers, designers and marketers of the company do not just rest on their laurels – they work. Given the popularity of POD systems, the company regularly releases devices of this format, and one of the new products can be considered Eleaf Iore Prime POD kit.
Eleaf Iore Prime POD kit is a neat rectangular device with rounded corners and edges, thanks to which it has excellent ergonomics and sits well in the hand. One of the features of the device is the use of bright multilayer side panels, thanks to which the POD-system looks bright and original. The device has rather modest dimensions of 94.6*26.5*14 mm, and weighs only 69 grams, so it won’t take up much space.
15 watts of maximum power of the device is provided by a built-in battery with a capacity of 900 mAh, so you can safely count on autonomous operation of the POD-system for one or two days, it all depends on the type of installed cartridge and intensity of vaping. The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device with a current of 1A.
Despite its simplicity, the Eleaf Iore Prime POD kit has a simple chipset that automatically sets the operating power depending on the resistance of the cartridge used, with a maximum power of 15 watts. The device is activated by puffing. To monitor the battery level, there is a rather large oblong LED at the bottom of the POD system that changes its color.
Iore Prime POD cartridge
Especially for the Eleaf Iore Prime POD kit bsq, the Iore Prime POD cartridge was designed with an ergonomic flat mouthpiece. The cartridge is held in the battery pack by rather rigid latches.
Eleaf offers two types of cartridges with built-in mesh vaporizers with resistance of 0.8 and 1.2 ohms. Thanks to the mesh, the vaper is guaranteed to get a good flavor, which can’t help but please.
A nice bonus will be the ability to adjust the blowing, realized with a small slider located on the side of the device.
To refill the cartridge, you need to remove the mouthpiece, and pour 2 ml of liquid into a small hole equipped with a check valve. It is desirable to use bottles with a thin metal spout, as the hole is small in diameter.
Conclusions and impressions
It is impossible to say that Eleaf Iore Prime POD kit is quite a novelty on the vape market, rather it is a rather ordinary POD system, the analogs of which can be found many times. But due to a good battery, practicality of use and maintenance, autonomy and built-in vaporizers on the grid, even a skeptical vaper will be satisfied.
